Easter is fast approaching, chocolate candles anyone? This is definitely a first for me and it smells eerily like real chocolate. Perfect as a gift or to go with a basket of chocolates. If you burn this candle all through Easter I find that you can actually curb your craving for chocolates because the more you smell it, the more you get over chocolate. How awesome is it? Best remedy for chocolate cravings ever!

Why I love it:
- You don’t know this yet but gosh, if you love amazing smelling home/desk, you must explore Yankee Candles.
- They have absolutely every amazing scent you can imagine like cherry blossom, clean cotton, BLUEBERRY SCONE!, candied apple, mango peach salsa, baby powder, almond cookie, beach walk, dune grass, lemon lavender, you get the drill!
- I am a sucker for sweet smelling perfume and candle and Garden Sweet Pea is exactly that. It’s a blend of pear, peach, freesia and rosewood. It is a beautiful scent.
- I keep this candle with lid opened on my desk, who doesn’t love working in a sweet smelling environment?
Why I love it:
- Great candle alternative to the warmer month (in case you haven’t noticed I’m obsessed with diffusion sets at the moment)
- Looks pretty doubles as a decoration in the living room/bed room
- You don’t have to worry about blowing out candles, smokes, wax spills or accidental fire scare
- Inexpensive (usually last for about 2 months)
- Even though it’s Orange & Jasmine it’s more of a sweet citrusy scent rather than a strong jasmine scent
- Definitely a very refreshing and summery scent
- Made out of natural fragrance oil
- One thing about diffusions to take note is to ensure you keep it in a place that won’t be knocked over easily and have good ventilation to ensure the scent flows through your space.
Why I love it
- Released just in time and is the perfect floral scent for Spring
- It is a beautiful blend of rich Jasmine (reminds me of a green tea jelly!), Lilac and Cherry Blossom
- This candle also comes with notes of bergamot, rose and sweet musk
- The lid also doubles as a snuffer
- Once the candle runs out, you can also recycle the glass jar to store cotton buds/balls. How fitting? Seeing I’m already storing my cotton pads in a glass jar
- If you love floral like I do, you’re guaranteed to love this limited edition candle, it’s inexpensive too!

Worth your money bits:
- Stunning combination of Rose (my big love!), Guave and Sandalwood
- Inspired by the awe-inspiring landscape of Tasmania’s landmark- cradle mountain, hence this candle is named after the mountain.
- The scent is bit woody, bit fruity with the apple guava and bit floral – rose.
- Gosh, and this is not one bit expensive at all. You’ll be surprise its below $50, considering how well scented this one is.
- Lead free cotton wicks
- 100% handmade in Australia
